Then you missed the grab hooks on the front of the loader and bar over
which they hook at each level.

Watch it again. Look for one of the "between the feet" views.

I noticed that, but really, what good would it do?

And then proceeds to walk around under the hoe.

Can I do this with my Farmall Super A? We've got some big pine and
spruce trees. Maybe a mechanized version of an arborist's climbing
gear.g

Sure, if you had the funding of a Superbowl commercial.

Too high for a helmet to make much difference, except at the start.

Too low for a parachute.

Daredevil machine operators -- it's certainly an interesting new niche!

The skill of the operator is amazing. One jerk or quick movement, and the
whole thing could have come down. There are lots of "drivers" around, and
few "operators." This man is an "operator".

into the slot blind, by feel.

I learned several years ago when I first bought my backhoe that just
having one doesn't make one a backhoe operator. I haven't even tried
jumping ditches with mine yet.
Now I am more convinced than ever that I know nothing.

Notice the track fit in a slot. The top held the track while
the bottom held it - in a slant, they bound the track in place.

Quality hand and eye control that one had!

Air bag is the only possible saving grace.
Notice the sand put down on the pavement - to grip and allow
slight movement as needed.

I thought it looked a bit jumpy every once in awhile, myself. With the
newer controls, that should have been smooth as silk.

Speaking of quality, did you guys see who was in the studio? It was
the Spice Girls! Posh and Baby Spice on either side of the host.
Yummy!

Hey, in 5 more days, it will be April 2010. That marks my 3rd year
without a satellite feed. I'm TV-free, and Crom, I do NOT miss TV
commercials. I've also eschewed radio for its commercials. My
entertainment is: occasional music (when I wash the month's dishes)
via Pandora.com (free to listen, commercial-free music) and movies via
Netflix, both via mail and watching online.

Once things slow down a bit, I'll have more time to finish cleaning
out the shop so I can get back in there and work. I do a little bit
of metalwork and a bit more woodwork...when I can find a square foot
to stand in. sigh

Thanks for mentioning that. I have several stations
setup now, and was initially impressed with the site's
ability to "connect the dots" and only play stuff I
like.
Later stations I set up didn't perform nearly as
well but at least I have about 5 I really like.

I completely gave up on my original music station. They have a very
odd tendency to play anything they wished on it. If you added a song
by ABC, it added all songs by them. If you killed a song by xyz, it
killed only that song. Their logic sucks.

I went back to them when they came up with the canned stations. I
listen to the jazz fusion station, new age instrumental station (for
George Winston and Liz Story, primarily), chicago blues station, delta
blues station, string ensemble station (classical, but too for me),
and electric blues station.

I'm really into piano instrumentals this year for some reason.

Alas, nobody reacted to the "month's dishes" taunt.
